DOWN IN TIE MOUTH.

When you come home tired out, your
energy all gone, your patience exhausted,
why-rest. Do not think that you are
desolate, that everybody has deserted you,
and that fate, destiny, grim despair are
after all you. You are tired and need TO
go to bed, or to engage in some light
talk which will rest but at the same time
occupy you. Read the newspaper, build
air-castles, hope with all the combined
powers of your fancy. If the clouds of
misfortune pile up, and it pours bad luck
mother scolds because you do not sweep
your room carefully; father threatens be-
cause of an approach to familiarity with
the new young man over the way; brother
frets because his stockings are not we'll
darned; lessons all went wrong in the
morning; your best friend said careless
word to you; you have broken the MAIN
spring Of your watch, and split coffee on
your new dress-why, these are all trifes!
I know good many bad triAes coming
together are worse than misfortune;
but the best way to prevent them from
bringing on detection is to let in such a
food OF light and determined cheerful
ness as to drown out despair. x 4 Work
is as sure cure for detection as cheer
fulness is. Why, 1 have seen one hours
solid labor eat up all the blue tribe which
had been Matching and Matching by mill
ions. Sometime you will read from Oar
lyle's "Past and Present" his chapters on
work, particularly that on "Labor and
Reward?" Mr.. Carlyle has written much
that is unintelligible to most readers. He
has very grotesque, volcanic style not
good to initiate. He is often sad and
hopeless about the human race, but he
knew from hard experience what work
could do against despair. So, in spite of
his rawlings, notwithstanding his eruptive
style and his sorrow for what is, he has
given us, in a NJ asterly piece of prose, this
noble gospel Of work.-Annie Fl. Ryder.

OUTWITTING A THIEF.

A Quaker was returning home one
evening on a particularly fine horse.
when he was stopped by man with his
face blackened, mounted ON nag whose
ribs; bones and joints, one could count
through it's skin; but not its teeth, for
those had disappeared, not through eat
ing hay, but chat.
"Holy man." said the new conner, "my
horse which can still dimly remember
the landing of Julius Caesar, stands sore
ly in need OF such attention as yours
appears to enjoy. If you like. we'll ex-
change. You havn't a pistol and I
have"
The Quaker considered: What's to be
done? At any rate, have second horse
at home, but not second life. So they
exchanged; and the robber quietly rode
off downward, with the Quaker's horse
The Quaker, however, led the robbers
starved beast by the bride, and upon ar
irving at town, threw the reins upon it's
back SAYING
Lead the way, thou bag or bones; thou
canst better find thy masters stable than
l."
He followed the horse up street and
down till it stopped at stable door and
would go no further. The Quaker enter
ed the house, and found the thief just
rubbing the SCOT from his face with an
old stocking.
$50 thou hast got home, friend" said
the Quaker; and, if thou hast no obiec-
ton, we will amend our exchange for it
was not lawfully made. Give me back
my horse; thine is at the door,"
The rascal, seeing he was outwitted,
had no choice but to deliver up the stolen
horse.-Good Cheer.

A SPANIEL REscUEs KITTIE.

A spaniel living on fern in Flanders
had for q companion a beautiful young
cat, whom the ruthless farmer had DOOM
ed to determination. Tying stone
round her neck he threw her into the
river. But the spaniel precipitated
himself resolutely into the stream and
brought her back in triumph to the
house. Will it be believed that the heart
of The farmer remained hardened? Again
he threw poor puss into the Meuse; but
again, like another Horatius, the spaniel
though without his "harness on his
back" that had been reserved for next
market day-plunged headlong into the
tide. Not only SO, but again he drew her
safe to shore. And-mark the point OF
the story-it was TO the further shore of
the Mouse; he would not trust his friend
to the mercies of the home side again.

APPRECIATION.

A bright little boy of about two and a
half years old was on the eve of doing
something that was very tempting to him.
"No, my son; you mustn't do that"
said the father.
The little fellow looked as if be would
like to do it in spite Of his fathers prohi
bition; but he triumphed over his inclina-
ton, and answered resolutely: "All right,
papa; 1T won't do it."
There was no issue there, and the father
turned to something else. The boy wait
ed minute, and then said, in tone OF
surprised inquiry: Papa, why don't you
tell me, That's good boyP"
The father took the hint and said an
encouraging word. Perhaps some other
father may need the same hint, and may
profit by the suggestion. 1t is not well
to keep all kind words until our friends
are dead, and then put them on the grave.

1t is not necessary to tell you how he
found out that the Browns lived just out
side the city, and that Jessie sang in the
little suburban church, but I must tell
you how surprised she was when she saw
those self-same brown eyes looking up at
her that she had thought of so-welI,
now and then, and wished she could
sometime meet again.
Then, too, 1 must tell what great
friendship sprang up between the white
haired old minister and Arthur, and how,
finally, he and Jessie were introduced to
one another, and both felt as il they had
been acquainted all their lives. And how
gracefully Jessie welcomed him to her
home, and entertained him, as Maude and
Ada never could have entertained, not be-
cause they were not capable, but a world
ly education so tends to self-consciousness
that it has little room for real, earnest
enjoyment, without thought as to
whether one looks interesting or ones
hair is becomingly arranged, and an i'm
preston being made.
1t was quite while after when, one
evening, Maude Revere, sc certain lect-
ure, spied Mr.. Lyman there, too, and
with lady. The face beside him was
familiar, but Maude could not place it.
She noticed how prettily the lady's hair
waved under her bonnet, which was GER
tainly not in this years fashion, but as
becoming as though it had just been i'm
ported.
"Some country cousin" thought Maud.
"We will certainly meet her, but then,
we can afford to patronize any of Mr..
Lyman's relatives. She looks NICE"
But when they were all coming out
and Maud caught full glimpse of the
sweet blue eyes, she grasped her escorts
arm very tightly and Strengthened up
very haughtily, for moment, and then
relaxed, unable to resist the pleased rec
ognition in the other face now beside
her.
Sometimes one gets lightning flash,
as it we're, of what is to be, and Maude
knew in that one glance that she and
Arthur Lyman would never be more than
cordial friends at the most, and that this
"Aower girl was the chosen onel
And SO she was. A great many fash
ionable people wondered how man like
Arthur Lyman could choose such wo-
man for his wife from among all his ele-
giant acquaintances-a woman who pre-
ferred home duties to fashionable shop
ping, who took more interest in the
unfolding of flower than in the draping
of an over-skirt, and who was not ever
likely to be leader in elite society.
1t is as well, perhaps, to mention right
here that Jessie Lyman never did become
leader; that her dwelling place is not
mere house with costly furnishings,
where the votaries Of elegance and luxury
assemble, but home where busy thrift
and true enjoyment is found; where real
life is led, not hampered by the fear of
fashions frown; and although her name
is not sounded by the high and lofty
ones, it is loved and blessed by many
whose lives have been frightened by the
sunshine of her charity and friendship.

APRIL TO MAY

am speeding away:
So, my fair daughter May,
The earth will soon be in your keeping,
You'll find everything new
And in very good FORM
In the air stores of dew,
And the winds softly warm
To coax up the crocuses, peepiDg.
You will find the hills green,
And in valleys between
Wild violets telling the story
Of how / caressed them
With sun-waves and showers,
And fed them and dressed them,-
Yes, every small flower
That smiles in its blue-purple glory
And my dearest child May,
If you find things delay
Like Ouds, which oft linger brown-coated-
Do not worry or fret,
But wait gently awhile;
That frown, never yet
Did the work of smile
Is something often have noted.

oATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HAY
FEVER.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that
they are due to the presence Of living
parasites in the lining membrane of the
nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic
research, however, has proved this to be
a fact, and the result is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are cured in from one to three simple ap-
plications made at home. A pamphlet ex-
planning this new treatment is sent free
